Re: Wd40
There is a WD40 Product that I use in gearboxes And other high friction points on my armour and trucks,---
"WD40 Specialist Anti-Friction DRY PTFE Lubricant"
It comes in an Aerosol Can and it leaves no residue but after an application you will be able to spin your gearboxes with no effort at all, Recommended.

Re: Wd40
Regular WD40 is a water displacement (the "WD" in WD40) spray for electrical components, metals, etc.
It really doesn't do anything it claims very well (penetrating oil, lubricant) except displace moisture.
The dry ptfe lube version that jarndice describes sounds like just the ticket. To the Canadian Tire!

I use Labelle 106 grease and 102 oil for 1/48 trains and 1/16 AFVs. I use the grease for gears and the oil for shafts. Neither has never given me a problem in over 20 years.
